English PEN would like to thank Rick Gekoski for his hard work, enthusiasm and dedication to make this project happen.

Our gratitude to our authors, and in many cases their agents, publishers, and personal assistants, is incalculable. We would particularly like to thank, in absentia, D.M. Thomas, whose heavily annotated copy of The White Hotel was sadly lost in the (registered Royal Mail) post.

Sotheby’s have contributed their time, expertise and facilities with remarkable enthusiasm and generosity. (There is, for instance, no buyer’s premium on the lots in this sale.) It has been an unambiguously positive experience collaborating with them.
